Moving Stones

Jesus's resurrection proves to the world that He is truly the one and only Lord and Savior. No other religious leader in history has accomplished this miracle. Jesus is the only one who can forgive our sins and give us peace in our lives. He is the only one who has conquered death and who can guarantee us eternal life. He is the only one who is the Son of God.

The resurrection of Jesus Christ also tells us that He is our victory. He can remove any stone in our lives. He can comfort our deepest sorrows. He can conquer any sin or addiction in our lives. He can help us overcome any doubt or fear we face. "For everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God" (1 John 5:4-5).

Are you trapped in a tomb of despair and pain today? Have your dreams been shattered—your hopes crushed? Then seek the peace that only God can provide. God's power raised Jesus from the dead and removed the stone from the tomb. And He can remove the stones in your life, no matter how big they may seem.

Prayer: God, I pray that You would remove the stones in my life. Thank You that no stone is too big for You.
